Review on πŸ”­ BARSKA Colorado Black Spotting Scope, 15-40x50 by Robert Arneson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

works but. the best spotting scopes

I think it's a decent deal albeit cheap. really very cheap, so cheap that the second time around the eyepiece fell apart. I adjusted the zoom and the eyepiece came off so I unscrewed the collar to see where it broke, to my surprise it didn't break entirely but I figured it wasn't glued well. I don't understand if a screw or permanent fix would make it "tougher" but no, they used glue, poor design and quality control. Anyway a bit of epoxy fixed it but if you buy it be careful it's really flimsy, I have it to take to the range when shooting. It's really terrible, at maximum zoom the view is poor, even blurry, no matter how you try to set the focus, you don't get a clear or sufficiently stable picture, even on a decent tripod that was included, it's rubbish, poor lens quality

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • I doubt the price
